Answer:

This statement is correct

Explanation:

There are two ways in which brightness of a star is defined:

Apparent magnitude

It is the brightness of a star measured from an observers perspective i.e., from Earth. The factors that influence apparent magnitude are luminosity, its distance, and any obstruction of the light of the object by interstellar dust along the line of sight to the observer. Apparent magnitude is also known as brightness.

Absolute magnitude

It is the brightness of a star that is measured when the observer is at a distance of 32.6 light-years, or 10 parsecs.

The statement mentioned here is referring to Apparent magnitude.

If the velocity of a car is 45 km/h west how far can it travel in 0.5 hours?
marissa [1.9K]

Answer: 22.5 km

Explanation: Solution:

v=d/t

Derive to find d

d= vt

= 45 km/h x 0.5 h

= 22.5 km

Cancel hours and the remaining unit is in km.

A convex mirror of focal length 34 cm forms an image of a soda bottle at a distance of 18 cm behind the mirror. The height of th
Mademuasel [1]
<h2>Answers:</h2>

In convex mirrors the focus is virtual and the focal distance is negative. This is how the reflected rays diverge and only their extensions are cut at a point on the main axis, resulting in a virtual image of the real object .

<h2 /><h2>a) Position of the soda bottle (the object) </h2><h2 />

The Mirror equation is:

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}   (1)

Where:

f is the focal distance

u is the distance between the object and the mirror  

v is the distance between the image and the mirror

 

We already know the values of f and v, let's find u from (1):

u=\frac{v.f}{v-f}   (2)

Taking into account the explanation at the beginign of this asnswer:

f=-34cm and v=-18cm

The <u>negative signs</u> indicate the <u>focal distance</u> and the <u>distance between the image and the mirror are virtual </u>

Then:

u=\frac{(-18cm)(-34cm)}{-18cm-(-34cm)}  

u=38.25cm (3) >>>>Position of the soda bottle

<h2>b) magnification of the image </h2><h2 />

The magnification m of the image is given by:

m=-\frac{v}{u} (4)

m=-\frac{(-18cm)}{38.25cm}  

m=0.47 (5)>>>the image is 0.47 smaller than the object

<h2>The fact that this value is positive means the image is upright </h2>

<h2>c) Describe the image </h2><h2 />

According to the explanations and results obtained in the prior answers, the correct option is 9:

<h2>The image is <u>virtual, upright, smaller</u> than the object </h2><h2 /><h2>d) Height of the soda bottle (object) </h2>

Another way to find the magnification is by the following formula:

m=\frac{h_{i}}{h_{o}} (6)

Where:

h_{i} is the image height

h_{o} is the object height

We already know the values of m and h_{i}, let's find h_{o}:

h_{o}=\frac{h_{i}}{m} (7)

h_{o}=\frac{6.8cm}{0.47}  

h_{o}=14.46cm (8) >>>height of thesoda bottle
